Sully Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I know, this sounds stupid, but I cannot, for the life of me, get the damn wheel off my beater. I took the lugnuts off, and lifted that wheel off the ground. The damn thing just will not budge. I have been beating the living shit out of this wheel for the past hour. I've taken many wheels off many cars and I've never had this much trouble. Am I missing something here? http://img222.echo.cx/img222/2699/wheel7rs.th.jpg Also, the tire on this rim is fairly new so I know it's been taken off recently (most likely when Ben (Satan) had the car. Any ideas on how I could get this thing off would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest racinbird Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 maybe a bigger hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powers Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 pb blaster on the hub Lay flat on your back with your legs facing the wheel, get close enough to be able to really give it hell. Kick on the out side rim of the tire. Kick it has hard as you can and don't hold back. Make sure your other leg is not under the car just in case. Should pop off. I have had a few pesky ones before too but the leg trick seems to get them every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest racinbird Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Just put a piece of wood on the back edge of the rim, hit with a big azz hammer, it'll come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Got it guys!!! PB Blaster is the shit!!! I forgot that I had a can of it here. I soaked the wheel down, let it sit for a couple minutes and hit the wheel as hard as I could again. After a few hits, it came right off. Whew!!! Now I have something to do tonight to keep me awake for the next 8 hours or so and not disturb the wife's beauty sleep. Thanks for the help.

Mensan Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 If you leave the lugs on loose and go around the block, you will not have any problem removing the wheel, drum, or rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Originally posted by racinbird: graemlins/thatfunny.gif Thanks for the encouragement, but you're right..LoL. The drum is on there as tight as it can be. Guess I'm gonna have to wait for the wife to wake up in the morning before I start hammering the hell out of it.

street pilot Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 put some anti-sieze where the wheel contacts the hub so it is not so hard next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
